IPhone app promotes cleavage staring

Two controversial new apps unveiled at the annual TechCrunch Disrupt technology conference on Sunday promoted masturbation and staring at women's breasts, sparking yet another debate about sexism in the tech world.

A duo of entrepreneurs from Australia showed off an app called "Titstare," which featured photos of people looking at women's cleavage. Presenting what they had created during a hackathon to an audience of other entrepreneurs and influencers, the duo deemed it the "breast" hack ever.

Another entrepreneur demoed "CircleShake," an app that measures how quickly someone can manually shake his or her phone. As part of the presentation, the hacker pretended to masturbate on stage.

Jordan signed up for the hackathon to encourage his nine year old daughter, Alexandra to pursue her interest in technology. Currently taking online coding classes, she was present for both presentations.

"I felt uncomfortable and I thought if I were a woman, I would have felt tremendously like this is not a group of people that are letting me in," Jordan told CNNMoney.

"Normally our hackathons are a showcase for developers of all stripes to create and share something cool," the AOL-owned(AOL) site posted. "But earlier today, the spirit of our event was marred by misogynistic presentations. Sexism is a major problem in the tech industry, and we've worked hard to counteract it in our coverage and in our hiring."

The conference, which attracts tech titans like Facebook's(FB) Mark Zuckerberg, LinkedIn's(LNKD) Reid Hoffman, Yahoo's(YHOO) Marissa Mayer and a host of burgeoning startup entrepreneurs has been a launching venue for startups since 2010. Each year, TechCrunch Disrupt kicks off with a hackathon, in which entrepreneurs spend hours building out new tech ideas.
